Palo Alto Networks launches continuous frontier-AI cyber defense service

Palo Alto Networks made Unit 42 Continuous Frontier AI Defense available worldwide on annual subscriptions. Its multi-model harness uses gated Claude Mythos 5 and GPT-5.6-Cyber, alongside open-weight models, to continuously test enterprise attack paths and guide remediation. The company reports more than 100 prior customer engagements with its exposure-analysis approach; the announcement does not establish a measured reduction in breaches.
